The Garden
“There was a house halfway round the world, and I was invited in…”
Patrick Wilson, Big Bird in a Small Cage
We had never been Tanzania, and now, we live;
We had never never learned Swahili, and now, we speak;
We had never pulled a carrot of the ground, and now, we’ve plucked;
He had never eaten a fresh strawberry, and now, he harvests.
